More breast screen services for Essendon

The installation of a second digital mammography screening machine at Essendon BreastScreen will provide an additional 150 appointments per week and reduce wait times for local women.

BreastScreen Victoria CEO Vicki Pridmore said about 10,000 women visit the clinic each year and the additional mammography screening machine will significantly boost capacity.

“It’s a fantastic thing that so many women are deciding to make breast screening a priority and booking in for an appointment. This means that our one machine at Essendon BreastScreen was getting very heavily booked,” said Ms Pridmore.
